It might surprise you, but today is St George's Day, in honour of the patron Saint of England.

Are you doing anything to celebrate it?

Ireland's St Patrick's day is a huge party all over the world, and the Scottish have a massive celebration on Burns' Night in honour of the poet Robbie Burns.

But what about the English?

What should the English do to celebrate their national day, which is usually pretty much forgotten?

I didn't even know it was St George's day until I saw it on a sign. Not very up to date am I?

We have a little party in the back yard. I think it should be a public holiday.

However you want it to be celebrated. You may be Scottish, Welsh or Irish and not want to be part of it.

I reckon that St George's Day should be a day off for everyone in England. What Elizabeth from Ipswich says is a fab idea!

Asif, 12, London

Just get the day off school.

I think St George's Day should not be celebrated just because of a poet. A national holiday should be celebrated for someone who did something good enough to be respected by everyone. I am not going to celebrate for someone who doesn't deserve it.

I think we should all have a big footy match to celebrate St Georges Day

Danny, 15, Huddersfield

We haven't celebrated St George's Day, but we think all English people should!!!

Alice & Sophie, 8 & 10, Gosport

I think that everyone should get the day off work on St George's day, and we can get the day off school!

This isn't really my area but I think each country in Britain should get a holiday for their Saints because after all....they are our Saints!!!! Believe it our not Scotland doesn't actually get a holiday for St Andrews day OR Burns night so....come on give us a holiday!!!

I have never celebrated St George's Day, and don't see why people should celebrate it. But that's me, I haven't learnt much about St George's day.

Sarah, 8, Chorley

I always celebrate St.George's Day. At school I wear a flag around my body & wear face paint on my face. It's great fun & should be celebrated by all!!

Sally, 15, Cambs

I agree with Jonathan, I think we should have street parties like we did on the golden jubilee , that was great!

Jonathan, 11, London

I've never heard of it.

Poppy, 15, Surrey

I think we should have a parade and act out the story

Bethany, 11, Manchester

The same way as it always has been! I'm a Scout and I'm reading the Scout Law in front on 400 people or more!

Lydia, 12, Northants

I sent some Happy St George's Day cards out but was disappointed to see how little everyone else had done. We should be proud of our saint and have parties and parades!!!

Charlotte, Mirfield

I think we should all dress up as George and Dragons and re-enact the killing of the beast in the high streets!

Elizabeth, 12, Ipswich

Personally I have never celebrated or had the need to celebrate St George's Day, but I do feel that it should be promoted because other British countries get a recognised holiday, so why shouldn't England?
